If Saudi Arabia did sell off its geese that lay the golden eggs, then it would spell the end for the empire soon after.

But here’s where you and I should be concerned: Rather than first selling their physical assets that produce cash flow, the first and most logical move for the Saudis to make will be to start to sell their over-sized holdings of U.S. debt.

How much U.S. debt do they own? We don’t exactly know, as the U.S. Treasury Department keeps that data mysteriously secret (despite reporting on every other nation individually). But what we do know is that the Saudis are the 3rd largest holders of our debt, so if they start selling it, will likely impact us in a big way.

The 1981 movie Rollover foretold of something similar to what’s happening now, with the Saudis selling out of U.S. investments as they realize the U.S. banking system is completely insolvent… sound familiar?

In the film, as the Saudis begin to pull their money out of the U.S., the dollar and stock market crash in a single day.

Some notable quotes from the movie:

“We’re dumping everything…treasury bills, bonds, fannie mays commercial papers we want it all sold.” (Notice how they are selling out of paper assets)
“Bullion, grab what you can get.”
“Gold just went up to $2000 per ounce.”
“By tomorrow that will be cheap.”

In times of desperation and fear, what people have done historically is dump paper assets and race into real and tangible assets in order to preserve their wealth.

If Saudi Arabia starts selling off its paper assets, most notably being U.S. debt, it wouldn’t be surprising to see some form of the script from the Rollover movie play out.
